Advantages: Gripping, Addictive, Fast Paced, Powerful, Weird, Alex is Pretty cool. Disadvantages: Hardcore gamers will find it a quick one.
Prototype; although not well advertised at all, most people not knowing the game, in my opinon is one of the best games around.
"You are Alex Mercer the PROTOTYPE" The game starts 18 days after the infection with you thrown into the game not knowing what the hell to do! You are over powered passed you wildest dreams, with all ablities unlocked and all hell to brake loose. A small tutorial within gameplay and you are off. first hand to hand; then claws, then hammers; then a sword arm. And when play time is over you just kill everything in radius with flesh tentical like things.
Well, then you start from the begining with nothing, no memory, no powers, nothing! Just the need to find out the truth and have your revenge! i
Prototype is a fast free-rome envioment with alex moving very swiftly with parkour in a infected NYC ...
Advantages: great story Disadvantages: lack of attacks
From the very start you get to see the amount of power alex mercer(anti-hero aka you) it also tells a story of how you came to be what you are. As you progress through the game you gain access to new powers & weapons so you can take out a mass number of your enemy or take out a tank. The most fun is when you need to sneak into military base to unlock new skills so you can hijack amored vehicles & many more. You will have hours of fun tearing through your enemy but the downside is the combat system is limited. They should have made it so you can combin your powers to give a wider range of attacks,combo & special attacks. You are told the story of alex mercer aka the prototype in bits & pieces but has you wanting to find out what happened. If you want to find more about the past there are people wandering the streets that know & you have ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Prototype (PS3)
Advantages: Free roaming, good combat system, good story, no multiplayer Disadvantages: Confusing (but good) story, missions slightly repetitive, no multiplayer
Back in june i was making one my regular rounds through the game shops in my hometown. While gazing over the same pc games i saw the day before and the day before that i came across prototype. This game took me by suprise as normally im quite up to date with recent releases and what not. So i picked it up, read the back and decided to buy it since i had points on my game card. Interestingly the packaging itself doesnt do the game much credit, in fact i only bought it because it was free roaming.
Right now the intro's out the way lets talk about the game.
Gameplay
I aint gonna beat around the bush here. Thw gameplay is very much worth the 5 stars ive given this game. The location is the manhattan region of new york and you are an ex military personal who wakes up with some kind of virus that gives you some wacky powers (its not as ...
